""When in doubt, just take the next small step". ~Regina Brett~ I am queen of metaphors...words that paint a picture. Life is a series of steps that often include peaks and valleys, well worn paths and occasional dead-ends. Whatever the journey, rarely is it predictable. We find ourselves at times lost, disoriented, revisiting the same road when we thought we were going in an altogether different direction. I am constantly in awe of my client's inner strengths of courage, determination and resiliency; putting one foot in front of the other."
